Hormonal imbalance: The symptoms you described are more likely to be due to changes in hormones around your periods. It would be a good idea to take oral iron and multivitamins to prevent iron deficiency due to menstrual blood loss. If that does not help in a couple of months, it would be useful to see a doctor for an in-person evaluation. Get HPV vaccine
